The City of Glendora Planning Commission approved Champion’s development plan in March. A subsidiary of the firm, which purchased the property, is now obtaining demolition and building permits.

“Glendora is a very strong infill suburban community in the Los Angeles San Gabriel Valley that has recently seen several major mixed-use residential projects which have added close to 400 new homes in the last several years,” Chris Wilson, Champion’s executive vice president and retail partner, said, adding that he would be pursuing national chain retailers.
